Pastoral splendor surrounds Hidden Meadow Farm, a grand country estate situated on 133 acres, located less than 50 miles from Pittsburgh. Located in the Pennsylvania township of Ligonier in Westmoreland County, this private estate includes a High Country English-inspired main residence with an outdoor saltwater pool and pool house, a three bedroom guesthouse, caretaker's cottage and an eight stall barn with indoor riding arena.

The High Country English-inspired Main ResidenceThe long, winding driveway prepares you for a royal reception at the expansive, heated courtyard. The palatial main house is an architectural marvel. Upon entering the home, you feel as if you are in the world of Downton Abbey. High Country English elements abound: warm mahogany crown molding, pilasters and coffered ceilings; marble fireplace surrounds; custom arched doorways; grand entryway staircase with 19th century stained glass window. The gracious luxury continues throughout the home, including cherry wood floors, lavish rooms and sumptuous views. Other outstanding appointments include five fireplaces, nine to ten foot ceilings throughout and finished lower level with office, exercise room, and generous storage areas including a walk-in cedar closet.

Rooms for a Grand ReceptionThe two story library greets you with a magnificent mahogany bar appointed with custom cabinetry, full wet bar and wine cooler. The library showcases a massive two story window inspired by the admiral's cabin in an 18th century British warship. A secret door opens to reveal a staircase which descends to the tasting room and climate controlled wine cellar. The view from the library overlooks the English knot garden which leads to the saltwater pool. Cocktails and light meals can be effortlessly prepared in the adjacent pool house equipped with a kitchen and two full bathrooms. Adjoining the library is the formal parlor where your family and friends may adjourn to continue a more in-depth conversation.

Entertaining EleganceServicing the reception rooms, the kitchen is a gourmands dream come true. A gorgeous island constructed of burnished copper and alder wood welcomes your family and your imagination. Along with the custom alder wood pantry, cupboard and drawer systems, the built in appliances and large commercial Wolf range will inspire and organize every culinary desire. Adjoining the kitchen is a butler's pantry, formal dining room with custom glass transom windows and two mahogany built-ins. The informal breakfast area leads into the family room which has east and west exposures offering abundant natural light and views. Two doors leading into the conservatory flank the floor to ceiling stone fireplace. Additionally, the home offers a card room graciously appointed with custom painted canvas walls and ceiling and is equipped with a full bath.

Luxurious AccommodationsThe upper level houses the master suite, a haven of luxury with custom wall coverings, two walk-in closets, a sitting room with gas fireplace, deck and bathroom with two sinks and built-in hot tub. Family and guests will enjoy the three ensuite bedrooms with personal bathrooms and walk-in closets. Everybody's curiosity will be peaked by the entry into the upstairs artist studio: a custom round door inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. The large laundry room, two spacious linen closets and two additional closets complete the upper level.
